There’s a fabulous sandwich shop in Tennessee called Ham ‘N Goodys. But what makes it really fabulous is the Goodys part of the name – they have a fantastic bakery with delicious cookies and cakes.

My favorite was always the lemon glazed cookies, so much so that I was on the lookout for a recipe many, many years ago. The well worn, well loved recipe that I found to be the best is no longer available online. It came from the Knoxville News-Sentinel, and it was republished on a website called Tennessee Hillbilly that no longer exists. I printed out this recipe exactly thirteen years ago tomorrow – July 16, 2003! (P.S. Thanks to my dad for supporting my packrat nature and locating this recipe copy within about 60 seconds of me asking for it.)
